Loose Women's Nadia Sawalha has spoken out that she is worried about her daughters' safety due to the UK's drinking culture, in light of the verdict of Ched Evans' retrial.

Evans was previously convicted of rape, but had his conviction quashed and was then found innocent in the retrial earlier this month.

This sparked a debate among the Loose Women panel about raising awareness of sexual consent among children.

"If you're drunk and you're in the street, you could be vulnerable to unsavoury people in all sorts of situations," Sawalha said.

"I think that we have a massive problem with drink in this country. Why is it that up and down the country, there's just horror stories everywhere of people 'doing things' not knowing they're 'doing it' because they're drunk?"

Although Sawalha acknowledged that Evans has been found innocent, she condemned him for his actions, and raised a concern that women can't be drunk without somebody assuming that she is 'asking for it'.

She said: "I just want to say, although Ched Evans has been proven innocent, he is morally corrupt for that behaviour, and it terrifies me that my daughters are growing up in this world and it terrifies me that you can't be drunk without certain sections of society thinking that you've then asked for it because you're drunk – because I don't think all men are animals.

"I don't think men get drunk and suddenly can't – some – but I don't think any man could get drunk and behave like an animal and rape somebody.

"Men are better than that. But you have to alert your daughter to the fact that there are some like that. Don't get so drunk you don't know where you are."
